Abstract/Summary

The study aims to find if Facebook usage significantly predicts loneliness among college students in the Philippines and if self-disclosure plays a role in the relationship between Facebook usage and loneliness. The study consisted of 180 college level students in the Metro Manila. The data analysis has shown that Facebook usage does not predict loneliness among college students and self-disclosure does not have an effect on the relationship between Facebook usage and loneliness. However, the study has found that self-disclosure has a significant correlation with loneliness.
